You Bare My Mark ( My Mate Series) novel Chapter 63

19 - Chapter Nineteen - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View

Despite that Forest was a father I allowed him to still get into trouble and shenanigans. He had made some friends with some other wolves who were also dads and they all went out drinking together, which was fine with me, I didn't mind it at all. He was still young. Atlas was hanging out with me and the twins tonight. Only because Emerald and Lucca had come over with their boys and he didn't want to be there to play thing for the night and I badly wanted to tell him what I thought but I didn't. He needed to learn in his own time. I didn't need to be the one to tell him. 

Atlas was watching cartoons with the boys when Forest finally came home, He had clearly had a few drinks and when he walked through the door I could smell all the booze. I knew exactly how this would go. Forest rarely drank so he could handle his booze and he became such a gentle soul who was smothering and needy. I found this Forest hopelessly adorable and when he wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him I smiled. 

“I missed you, my love.”

“I missed you too, my alpha.”

He wouldn't let go of me and I found it sweet that I was always the first person he came to smother when he did drink. Atlas had the boys so I wasn't worried about not watching them for a few moments so their father could pay me some adorable attention. After he was done holding me he got on the kitchen floor and just laid there with his cheek pressed against the cold tile.

“You know I love you so much right?”

“Of course I know that my Alpha.”

“That’s good, I never want you to forget that.”

“I never will, you have my promise.”

“Good.”
